lyrics

“The Deluxe House”

Is this love or is this memory?
Is this reflex or is the enemy
Wafting through this bar, the lips and muscles are trained for
Certain skills therefore close enough to evoke these feelings
Like I’ve swallowed all these pills that made me sick in the first place
I grew dependent on certain thrills
This grid I’m in smells like New York City so vast it nearly drowns me as I Fight for a last gasp
So I move to the television there goes my intention, damned invention
Tossing gizmos our direction
So I date things that are worth mentioning. Thievery guides me to a nose that Ignores me.
This is the most deluxe house yet, with the sky lights to look out
Window inset, a fresh air vent.
Hand towels, fresh water for the fresh face in the mirror
Soap dispenser you’ll get that much cleaner
I need sleep too much, worn through by days untouched cycled on glass pressed tight
An impenetrable mass
Smears where the smiles showed through and dust where tears flowed
Hand prints form letters
This exercise keeps me warm like the holes in sweaters, your puzzled gestures,
These backward letters
Only read to me even when our eyes trace the same lines – it’s evident that we each find
Solely what we find
While you were restless, while you were resting I was there
Growing contentious, trying to seem like I’ve had it
Analyzing habits my worst habit playing favorites
Trying on jackets, checking pockets – I thought I had this figured
This is the most deluxe house yet, with the sky lights to look out
Window inset, a fresh air vent.
Hand towels, fresh water for the fresh face in the mirror
Soap dispenser you’ll get that much cleaner
Welcome mat, a magazine rack
Cushioned seat and a hi-tech flusher
This is the most deluxe house yet – with a skylight to look out
